i have used the blower for about 4 months, minimal use, maybe 10 times. I pulled the cord and it just stopped and jammed, not it just dangles. I took everything apart yesterday to get to the cord to fix it (this took a while b/c it is buried deep in the casing)...but when i got close, there is a huge ball of wires in a circular pattern that exploded out everywhere! What is that? Do i need that to go back in for it to work? How can i fix this blower??!! it is a weedeater featherlite. Thank you!!

All that wire that came out is the spring that retracts the pull cord.....They are a pain in the butt if you don't know what you are doing......If you never replaced one I suggest you take it to repair shop to fix it. The first time I took one apart it took me about 3 hours to figure it out.....It's a easy fix when you figure it out..... Any lawn mower shop can fix it....
That's why the cord got jammed because the spring broke or came apart........

I have had several poulans apart and never had a huge ball of wires come out. I don't understand what you are doing. The starter is on the output shaft. There aren't many wires in the machine. Please provide more information.

sadly those featherlites are of cheap quiliaty. best thing to do is take it back to where ever you got it to get it fixed, homedepot or lowes probally right? you probally want to invest in something better
